inschrijft

Inschrijft is a term that is closely related to the Dutch verb inschrijven, meaning to enroll or register. In standard Dutch, inschrijft as a single, standalone word is not used as the correct form of the verb in present tense. The typical present tense third-person singular forms are schrijft zich in or schrijft in, depending on whether the reflexive pronoun is included. Because inschrijven is a separable verb, the particle in may appear at the end of the clause in main clauses (Hij schrijft zich in voor de cursus) or remain attached in less common constructions.

The noun inschrijving refers to the act or process of enrolling. It is used to describe the registration itself, such as an application or sign-up period. Examples include: “De inschrijving voor de training is geopend,” and “Ik heb me ingeschreven bij de vereniging.” The noun is common in administrative, educational, and event contexts.

Usage notes and variations:

- Inschrijven is often used with a reflexive pronoun when describing someone enrolling themselves (zich inschrijven). The reflexive form is required in standard usage.

- The verb can also be used without the reflexive pronoun: “Hij schrijft in voor de cursus” is understood as enrolling in the course.

- In informal writing, misspellings like inschrijft may appear, but the correct forms are schrijft zich in or schrijft in, depending on the sentence structure.
